The Space Defense Initiative (SDI) represents a challenging, high priority research and technology effort in which new and augmented conepts in space system launch, orbit control, servicing, and battle management may be required. If SDI results in a large increase in the number of on-orbit satellites, it may put a large strain on available ground based satellite control systems. This paper will address how the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) is being upgraded, and how advanced technologies could be included in this same network to meet the additional requirements associated with the development of space-based defense systems.
